Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

China's population declined by 1.39 million in 2024, marking the third consecutive year of decline as deaths outpace births.

Despite efforts to boost the birthrate, including financial incentives, restrictions on divorces and abortions, and allowing up to three children per family, rising living costs, youth unemployment, and cultural shifts deter young couples.

Beijing also plans to gradually raise retirement ages to address the demographic crisis.

If that's true, it's in the billionaires best interest to help, but I feel like their solutions are slavery or autonomous robots instead of wealth redistribution.
